Elderly Care in Central Bedfordshire

| Hi my name is Gemma, I’ve been doing care work on/off for 20 years. I have had time off for maternity as I have children. I have a experience in all areas of care, ranging from MS to end of life , from people aged 50-107! I have also been a senior carer in a nursing home for people with dementia.

| I have over 5 years experience in the care industry, with qualifications such as medication, manual handling, dementia and more. I am DBS checked. I am in the middle of growning my own business and looking to find new cleints.

| A vibrant and compassionate person who will no doubt bring cheer to the home! I am recently exploring the world of care as a career and I would much prefer to be self employed and work directly with people to cut out any unnecessary overheads. I am more than willing to take on training and I am considering study to become an occupational therapist. I have worked in IT and other business roles in London so I am a fairly mature person and professional, but now I want to do something that matters and use my natural people skills. I have no problem with undertaking personal care as instructed, and I am comfortable with medical things. I adore animals and have a lovely gentle dog who I could bring along if someone would enjoy that, and equally I am very much embracing of any pets in the home! I have recently been in contact with a special needs school to do some work there so I should have a DBS check cleared soon, but in my case I just love variety and I love the elderly as much as all other people. I would live out generally but I am happy to do sleep-ins or stay for periods while other carers are away.

| The job revolves around helping clients with their immediate needs such as washing, dressing and maintaining their hygiene, as well as helping them with basic day-to-day or administrative tasks like shopping and cooking

| I have more than 13 years experience as a carer.U enjoy listening to older people,I am a very patient person and am always happy to work at my client’s pace following their lead.I work hard to get to know my clients, so l can help them enjoy their interests and hobbies I’m approachable, friendly , reliable,good listener, excellent communication skills and professional
